Sorry i glanced at them really fast, yeah not sure about JUST slotted. I always get drilled and slotted. Just a habit since i Auto X all my cars.

I can't tell if it's bad. The car stops fine, and doesn't pull when stopping. When i take the rotor apart and step on the brakes the rotor or cylinder comes out just fine and the tool to push it back it, has zero effort pushing it back in. Is there any other way to tell?

Hello and welcome to the board. I'm curious as to why you would buy drilled and slotted rotors if you autocross all your cars?

Why wouldn't you? Dissipates heat faster, to keep the rotors cooler and the pads. Auto X puts a lot of strain on the pads and rotors, so having them cooler is better. If you even tell me any reason not to use drilled and slotted rotors i'll pretend you never exist. Myself and many others who run in the STU, and STM and SM classes will prove to you otherwise on a track.

Who told you that?

the results board. I've noticed a huge difference in times mainly due to braking. I don't drive any faster so i know that's not it! So it has to be the rotors and brake combo, as the old set of solid rotors just sucked ass as well as the pads. Ever since i switched, i've noticed a world of difference. As well as much more brake dust. But there is no more brake dust build up in the pads and on the rotor itself.

Explain to me why not? So i can write Subaru and tell them to stop putting them on their STi models.
